The Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program (CDIP) provides student loans to a limited number of individuals pursuing full-time doctoral degrees at accredited universities throughout the United States. After participants receive their doctoral degrees and obtain a qualifying instructional position in the CSU, a portion of their loan from this program will be forgiven every year of qualifying employment.
Number Available: Varies
Dollar Amount: Loans of up to $10,000 per year, up to a total of $30,000
Deadline: Check back in December for 2014 deadline
Process for Awarding: Personal essay, action plan, and faculty sponsor needed. After applications are submitted, a campus committee evaluates the applications and makes recommendations for further consideration to the CSUF President. The President then forwards campus nominations to the Chancellor's Office. A system-wide committee reviews the campus nominations and makes recommendations to the chancellor for final approval.
